This year's Tribute to Novello wraps up Saturday, Oct. 9, at ImaginOn, 300 E. Seventh St., with a day devoted to children's and young adult authors. The morning kicks off at 10:30 a.m. with appearances by book characters Max and Spot.

Saturday's impressive lineup includes Newbery Honor Book winner Stephanie Tolan ("Surviving the Applewhites") and Gloria Houston, author of the classic "Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree." And if you know any young-adult readers who are partial to zombies, make sure to meet Carrie Ryan, author of the beautifully written and wonderfully creepy "Forest of Hands and Teeth."
